Pure creative fun for every skill level! Learn how to cut and layer fabrics to create “seamless” designs in which the finished collages appear to be one piece of cloth. Examine many examples of pre-cut prints and batiks and how they fit together. Choose your project–tiny cellphone/eyeglass cases or bags on PelTex foundations; or larger pillow top, wall quilt, framed art (approx. 16” x 20” size); or jacket or coat. Once you have learned the technique, it can be scaled up or down, depending on the project you choose! After the opening trunk show, June will be ready to help and advise when there are questions about designs in progress. Take all the photos you like for future reference!
